Path-Extended reviews

This module covers more or less what Path::Class does, but the definitive differentiation is there: that is, even when using Windows, you need not worry about it. Simply put, you need not be conscious which what is called a basename is, which a directory is, or which what is called a volume is, etc.
Both have of course their merits and demerits. However, suffice it to say that the module is necessary to at least me.
